Create a mountpoint:

sudo mkdir /media/windrive

Mount the drive:

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windrive -o force

Assuming that /dev/sda1 is your windows media drive.

HTH.

Alternatively, if you want to do the same thing with the command-line that a graphical file manager causes to happen when it mounts an NTFS volume (i.e., Windows drive), you could run

udisks --mount /dev/sda1

where, as in Ian Ace's post, /dev/sda1 should, as appropriate, be replaced with the device name of the partition you wish to mount.

Can you help with this problem?
